1. On the camera page, slide to the left to enter settings, and choose [Assistive grid].

2. Select the composition style you want.

QUICK TIP: You can choose symmetry that delivers balanced and harmonious presentation. You can turn on the reference lines to make sure your frame is straight horizontally and vertically, so that the presentation is full of tension.
